s204 wheels, real and look alikes

srt42sti · 08-31-2006, 08:48 AM

the real s204 wheels are a pretty penny, anyone know of anyplace that sells look-a-likes? maybe even a set that will fit the sti center caps? these would be for an 06

The BBS REs are only 18x8 and are still $550-650 a wheel but that's cheaper than the real deal S203/S204 wheels.

The Rota Formula Mesh wheels are the only other option.

The STi center caps for the real deal S203/S204 rims won't fit on the REs or the Rotas, a few people have tried. You could make a black center cap and put a small pink STi sticker on it and maybe even seal it.

Rota Formula Mesh are heavier than the stock wheels. They're also cast as opposed to forged. But if you're going for looks and street wheels, they're not a bad deal.

23 lbs. a corner versus 19 (?) lbs. a corner stock...

I was one of those who tried to get the STI center cap to fit on the RE...no good. They will fit on the stock STI wheels though.

He's right on the cap issue. The RE's do come in black diamond though.
